Which client-rated measure assesses satisfaction with performance in daily life?

• A. COPM (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure)
• B. QuickDASH
• C. SF-36
• D. KELS

Answer: (A)

The main idea is measuring a client’s satisfaction with how they perform daily activities, from the client’s own perspective. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is a client-centered interview in which individuals pick everyday activities that matter to them, rate each activity’s importance, then rate their performance and their satisfaction with that performance. The satisfaction score for these activities specifically captures how happy the person is with how they perform in daily life, and this rating can reflect changes after therapy. In contrast, the QuickDASH focuses on symptoms and disability of the upper extremity and isn’t centered on daily-life satisfaction. The SF-36 is a broad health-related quality-of-life survey and doesn’t target satisfaction with everyday performance in a targeted, OT-specific way. The KELS is a performance-based evaluation of independence in basic living skills and does not rely on the client’s own rating of satisfaction. Therefore, COPM uniquely provides the client-rated satisfaction measure for daily-life performance.
